Last Minute “favorite” releases of 2015. I am old, and spent most of 2016 listening to Taylor Swift’s “1989” – that is until Ryan Adams released his version of “1989”. Life is good. Anyway, in no particular order, a list of records I enjoyed over the last 12 months.
My apathy is immeasurable. Lost part of my vision and a good part of my heart (the latter is more of a metaphysical thingy) and had no desire to search for new music with the same vigor as previous years. I’m sure there was plenty of great whatever out there, but I could barely give a poop. Poop. See what I did there? Here’s some stuff I liked: THE BEVIS FROND – Example 22 STICK IN THE WHEEL – From Here GIANT SAND – Heartbreak Pass YO LA TENGO – Stuff Like That There KURT VILE – blieve I’m goin…

Brothers and sisters, we survived another year on this planet. The best thing I can say about 2015 is that it is behind us. No looking back from here – blue skies ahead.
Dear PoOpoids: It is with great pleasure that I return to the poop realm and deliver the poopiest poop I know how to deliver to you. 2015 has been a challenging year however I have been able to squeeze it out for your enjoyment, happy relieving of yourselves…… Buy New or Used via Amazon Rent via iTunes [?] FAILURE – THE HEART IS A MONSTER: The first few listens I was skeptical as any die hard would be as it has been 19 years yes you read that correctly NINETEEN YEARS since their last Masterpiece – “Fantastic Planet”, however Ken…
New to me in 2015 What is new to me in 2015? To start with POOP! This is my first contribution to this fine collection of POOP Lists from many respected and/or otherwise music nerds! I’ve known many POOP contributors for more than 20 years and I’m glad somehow I have now managed to make the ranks! 2015 had some gems in it. It also revealed some gems from recent years as well. This list for me is the best of what I found and heard in 2015…not necessarily the best of things that were released in 2015. There is…
As with Sun Kil Moon last year, a single, sharp voice made the year for me—Father John Misty’s album is all at once great entertainment, giddy yet devastating satire, somber true-life folk. New friend Barnett and old friend Finn took me similar places, small stories, less-than-small stakes, real voices. The deservingly ubiquitous Lamar album totally mystified me at first but was impossible to shake off, blossoming the more I played it and talked about it.

Once again I struggle to find a Top 10 list for new albums. Because lets face it? I am not impressed by much. I really get tired of getting attacked for not being a poptimist. Yes I love rock music and rock music in my opinion is worth preserving. So if my top 10 list features old farts on it like Keith Richards, David Gilmour, Jeff Lynne and Lemmy? So be it…
